I worked out the following chords for one of my favourite Tull songs

from one of my favourite Tull albums. I would appreciate it if someone

could confirm these chords for me. The fill-ins played during the

transitions from one chord to the other are fairly easy to work out, so

I haven't tabbed them (basically I'm too lazy!).

"From a Dead Beat to an Old Greaser"

----------------------------------

D F#m A F#m

From a dead beat to an old greaser, here's thinking of you.

E Em Bm

You won't remember the long nights

G C D

coffee bars and black tights and white thighs,

F#m A

in shop windows, where blonde assistants

F#m

fully-fashioned a world

E Em Bm G C

made of dummies with no mummies or daddies to reject them

D F#m A F#m

When bombs were banned every Sunday and the Shadows did F.B.I

E Em Bm

And tired young sax-players sold their instruments of torture

G C

Sat in a station sharing wet dreams,

D F#m A

of Charlie Parker, Jack Kerouac, Rene Magritte

F#m E

to name a few, of the heroes

Em Bm

who were too wise for their own good

G C D

left the young brood to go on living without them.

**Intrumental** (F#m, A, F#m, E, Em, Bm, G, C)

D F#m A F#m

Old queers with young faces, who remember your name,

E Em Bm

though you're a dead beat with tired feet,

G C

two ends that don't meet.

D F#m

To a dead beat from an old greaser

A F#m

Think you must have me all wrong

E

I didn't care, friend.

Em Bm

I wasn't there, friend,

G C

If it's the price of a pint that you need, ask me again.
